[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is not working about your current placement?

For my child, the MCPS Bridge program has worked pretty well. It is not perfect, but it has small classes and classes are (supposedly) on grade level.

I do feel that overall MCPS has more options than most, but the only program that has both small classes and on-grade level is Bridge. Connections, SESES, and GT/LD are all for students who can be mainstreamed with just some extra support.

Otherwise, you are probably looking at private.[/quote]

Thank you for sharing this!
I just read the description "Bridge services support students in Grades 6–12 who demonstrate significant social emotional learning, and/or behavioral challenges that make  it difficult for them  to succeed in a comprehensive school environment"

Is it true about significant behaviors in the cohort?  Also, what is the elementary level pre-cursor for this program, or is there none?[/quote]

There is no Bridge program for elem.  Kids entering Bridge for MS come from SESES or Connections.  My kid is at Hoover Bridge.  Bridge behavioral challenges are internalizing behaviors rather than externalizing.  So a kid may shut down, retreat to a corner, or step out of the classroom.  Their behaviors are not loud and explosive for the most part.[/quote]

Thank you for the explanation! What is the class size like and is it co-taught by gen ed and sped teacher? [/quote]
